I like the idea of ghosts. If UFO's can exist (and I believe they do) why can't ghosts?

I've seen way to many weird things in my life to be explained away by science. Could it have been science? Sure. Could it have been something from another realm? You betcha.

Im going to have to agree with the possibility of the air pressure thing, as this could warrant some experimentation. Last night at my house I was in the bedroom, and my door would shake when the door to the garage down stairs was opened. So this made me think of that, but without you actually trying this with somone to help you it's hard to say. No disclaiming you just trying to help.

I once saw a ghost on a box of cereal.

Serious note: I am a firm believer in Ghosts. I can't explain it, but I often hear voices on the edges of my hearing.
I also occasionally see things out of the corner of my eye-More and more recently. Half glimpsed shadows, creeping figures-All the time.

I think I'm going mad.

The thing I feel a lot of people need to remember is these paranormals were once human beings just like us. yes the thought of them can be creepy and send chills down your spine, but I for one am curious as to study what keeps them attached to this earth, and when I die will I haunt this place?

I see freaky gak all the time, but then again I watch and read pretty freaky stuff. Maybe it's just my mind playing tricks on me.

Looks like Cheesy is finally seeing the truth behind 4Chan .

Yeah, got a story for you guys.

Well, when I was in college (3rd year, two years ago) laying in bed (my girlfriend had just walked out of the room, going back to her own dorm) I felt an itch on my ankle. At first, it felt like a bug, so I slapped it. But it wouldn't stop, so I lifted my jeans up and looked at my ankle and I was getting eaten my many many multilaz0rs.

Mhm.

I might have posted this on the other one a few months back, but if not here goes!

This is a picture of a truck I turned into a mud bogger. I was taking before pictures and found this little gem when I was going through them on my computer. There is nothing behind me, its all fields, so I REALLY have no clue where the hell the face came from.

Naturally I was all alone at home when I did this, so I was even more creeped out. Hurray for ghosts!

Erm, not seeing the face in that one matey.

That one looks like a twisted reflection of the dashboard and the building behind.

Nope, nope. Now I see it. Is actually pretty creepy. Could be the camera, but part of it is the corner of the building in the background, but there is a face in the bottom half.

The fact the face looks like this guy stops me being worried.

That photo's actually an easy one to explain.

The 'face' is caused by the fact that the tree in the background causes the rough shape to be formed, and there is enough of a glare on the glass to cause parts of the trailer to the left side of the tree to be blocked out while the other parts remain intact and hint towards a face peering out you.

It's actually a REALLY common thing to find in photos, especially ones claiming to have ghosts in them. Something relatively innocuous becomes sinister in that regard. The actual explanation is called "matrixing", where the mind attempts to make an explanation of something it is seeing that makes no sense. In this case, the photograph's suggestion of a face's general structure via the tree and trailer cause your mind to immediately make the leap from "unconnected images" to "OMG FACE!".

Couldn't have said it better myself. The face in your photo is pretty vague, and it's not too difficult to figure out that the glare on the glass is combining with scenery to make what appears to be a face.

Oh, no fething doubt. I once had a cell phone camera pic that showed what appeared to be a leering skull floating behind me.

The actual cause?

No joke, it was the reflected light of the built-in flash on the camera phone bouncing off of the rear view mirror of the truck near me and filtering through the toolbox he had on the back.

It was RIDICULOUS though.

On the topic of faces, my main floor bathroom has a light-induced phantom that appears...whenever the light over the kitchen table is on at night, and the bathroom door is open, the light reflects in such a way that a weird face appears on the opposite wall from the mirror. It's really strange...and for the longest time, I thought it really was a ghost.

You and Mad Dok Grotsnick should get together then

You may be haunted by beautiful women. This apparently is now a bad thing.

Could be if you are a Eunuch
